Fund Services

A DAY IN THE LIFE

I selected Fund Services because...
of the training and development opportunities. Fund Services was an excellent way to learn about the structure and operation of hedge funds while gaining exposure to a variety of industry initiatives.

As a Fund Services Summer Analyst...
I gained in-depth knowledge about the financial markets, particularly about hedge funds and investment strategies. In addition to being motivated and eager to learn, I had to be able to multitask, prioritize my workload and effectively communicate. I spent lots of time gathering and analyzing complex information, which I reported to management.

A typical day for me...
included overseeing daily controls of hedge fund books and records. I monitored for pressing client issues or new updates in global procedures and ensured that transactions were properly recorded and that investor classifications in the system were thoroughly reviewed for proper reconciliation and pricing. In addition, I remediated investor data and organized metrics for the management team.

The best part of my summer experience was...
working with colleagues worldwide and being involved in process reengineering and other demanding projects. I loved being part of a dynamic, constantly changing environment.

Many former Summer Analysts have gone on to...
become full-time analysts who later move into client relationship management roles. Some specialize in a particular area of hedge fund administration, such as Investor Servicing, Tax or Accounting.
